Has there been a more divisive film? I've noticed that people so far have either loved it or completely hated it-- no middle ground. I've also noticed that those on the 'hate it' side of the fence seem to always do two things:

1) go out of their way to explain how incredibly moronic those of us who enjoyed the film, are. Not that we have poor taste or didn't go to film school like they did and thusly haven't developed an eye for good cinema, but are literally dumber'n a bag of bags;

2) proceed to then list several "good" horror films... consistently including at least one that seems to be utter garbage.

And while I'm here-- was the 'yearly mammogram' remark a reference to Ms. Featherston's, uhm... how can I be delicate about this... giant effing milkers?

No, most of the people I know -- including me -- thought it was a decent film, and a very good film given the limitations they were working with. But as psychological horror films lacking special effects or much explicit scary stuff go, it was certainly no Rosemary's Baby. Nothing but middle ground here.

I agree that PA is a very divisive movie, and people either love it or hate it.

I would say that the people that "love" it quite often say the most demonstrably ridiculous things I have ever heard about a movie:

"It is the scariest movie I have ever seen"

2. "I haven't been able to sleep since I saw it"

BUNK!

As far as critics of the fans of PA calling them morons (or the like), I don't do that. I just state the fact that they are not serious fans of horror movies (and you know what, you have to have watched, and loved to watch hundreds of horror movies in your life to be a true horror movie fan).

Otherwise you are just another network TV watcher who goes to a few movies a year and falls for the hype of a boring snooze of a movie like Paranormal Activity. Hitchcock created a 1,000 times scarier movie 50 years ago in Psycho. Or do you want to praise PA over that? Good luck.
